Re: THEE GAME IS vs THE BUFFALO BILLS ON OCT 16th!

One key question has been why Paterno and other top school officials
didn't go to police in 2002 after being told a graduate assistant saw
Sandusky assaulting a boy in a school shower.</p>

"I am absolutely
devastated by the developments in this case. I grieve for the children
and their families, and I pray for their comfort and relief,"
"<font color="#0000FF">This is a tragedy,</font>" Paterno said in a statement earlier Wednesday.<font color="#0000FF"> "It
is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I
wish I had done more."</font></p>

</p>

"If it turns out that some people at the school knew of the abuse and did
nothing or covered it up (which we already know, she just has to say that), that makes it even worse. <font color="#0000FF">Schools and school officials have a legal
and moral responsibility to protect children and young people from
violence and abuse."</font> U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said.
</p>

</p>

<font color="#0000FF">"There are the obligations we all have to uphold the law. There are then
the obligations we all have to do what is right,"</font> the editorial board
wrote about Penn State President Graham Spanier's role in the sex abuse
scandal, along with Paterno's.</p>

Pennsylvania state police commissioner
Frank Noonan said Monday in Harrisburg that Paterno fulfilled his legal
requirement when he relayed to university administrators that a graduate
assistant had seen Sandusky attacking a young boy in the team's locker
room shower in 2002. But the commissioner also questioned whether
Paterno had a moral responsibility to do more.</p>

<font color="#0000FF">"Somebody has to
question about what I would consider the moral requirements for a human
being that knows of sexual things that are taking place with a child,"
Noonan said.</font></p>

<font color="#0000FF">"I think you have the moral responsibility, anyone.
Not whether you're a football coach or a university president or the guy
sweeping the building. I think you have a moral responsibility to call
us."</font></p>

Paterno has referred to his grand jury testimony in which he
testified that he was informed by a graduate assistant that he had
witnessed an incident in the shower of the team locker room. Prosecutors
have said Paterno passed on the information to Curley.</p>

But Paterno said specific actions alleged to have occurred in the grand jury report were not relayed to him.</p>

<font color="#0000FF">"It
was obvious that the witness was distraught over what he saw, but he at
no time related to me the very specific actions contained in the grand
jury report," </font>Paterno said in the statement. "<font color="#0000FF">Regardless, it was clear
that the witness saw something inappropriate involving Mr. Sandusky.</font> As
coach Sandusky was retired from our coaching staff at that time, I
referred the matter to university administrators."</p>

<font color="#0000FF">Then they just turned their back on all those victims. <font color="#000000">He is basically saying, I knew something terrible was happening and I reported it so I'm off the hook. </font>
</font></p>

Here is the real ****. I will caution you, it is EXTREMELY graphic and disgusting. That Sandusky guy is about as close to the devil as you can get in my eyes. Schulz is terrible also. He covered the whole damn thing up. Joe Pa did what he was supposed to legally. But he knew all this was happening and said nothing to the police. He let it go. It's horrible. Everyone else lied about it to. This story is probably one of the worst things that will ever happen in sports and Penn St is tarnished forever. I would hate to say I even knew that guy let alone have been mentored by him. Joe Pa knew that **** happened and didn't say **** once no one did anything. So did the coach, I get that but that is Joseph Paterno!

Read that Matt and Daven. Then tell me what you think?

Re: THEE GAME IS vs THE BUFFALO BILLS ON OCT 16th!

So Paterno is no more. I think he would of coached until he dropped, wild horses were not going to pull him out of there. It's a shame, they should of allowed him a press conference, resign and step down that way.
